Streamline your life, and your wardrobe, when you can. This is my advice to you. Clutter doesn't bring anyone legitimate joy. It weighs us down and frankly makes things more complicated than they have to be. I often have trouble pairing down my closet in the summer.
If you're thinking about going to Iceland, stop thinking and just go. It is a beautiful country with kind people. The crime rate is extremely low, and they drive on the right side of the road. What more do you need to consider?
Comfort. Food. COMFORT FOOD. I don't get cozier than when I am curled up in a blanket on my sofa with a bowl of warm noodles.
Lana once wrote a song about a girl who wore blue velvet. She croons on about the velvet that was bluer than the night and the girl's eyes, which were also bluer than the velvet she wore. I've always loved the song. Call it self-indulgence, but I connected to it. To me, the song was about me.
It's been a long time since I last shared an outfit on my blog. Since then, a lot has happened. I'm currently recovering from my time as a red head with some strawberry blonde locks. It's gotten cold AF. Several tasty new restaurants have opened downtown. I've put up the Christmas tree and I'm getting ready to take it down. I've turned 27, and I'm looking to the New Year with eyes full of fun times and adventure.
This sweet potato bread pudding is the perfect simple dish to serve the next time you really want to WOW your friends and family. It's perfect for Friendsgiving. It's perfect for Thanksgiving at Grandma's house. It's perfect for that festive holiday brunch you're throwing. The best part? Even though this bread pudding takes a little time to make, it takes very little effort and literally no skill. You can do this. You. Can.
If my father is behind the bar at a party or family dinner you will likely find him smiling while muddling a bit of cherry and orange together in a glass. He is always the bartender - whipping up cosmopolitans, Bloody Mary's, or espresso martinis for friends, but nothing does he make with quite as much excitement as he does an Old Fashioned.
I'm heading down to Atlanta this weekend for Music Midtown - one of my favorite, low key "princess" festivals to attend. So, I thought I would let you in on my five bag essentials for the perfect Music Midtown experience!
I love this simple outfit because the blue flowers in the top play so well with the color of the denim. The throwback detail at the bottom of these jeans is perfect and really helps to add something extra to a simple look.
So I've been watching a lot of Arrested Development lately. This skirt gives me serious Lindsay Bluth vibes, and I've decided I'm ok with that - at least for now. I'm only watching season one...
I made these colorful summer tomato tarts using some of my favorite flavors: ripe tomato, feta cheese, and fresh basil. These pastries are light yet filling, fluffy while crispy, and suuuuuuper colorful on your table. They are totally headache free. You can even finish putting your makeup on while they get all toasty in the oven.
